이날치 밴드: 판소리와 현대 음악의 크로스오버 편집하기 (부분)

===Eng===
Leenalchi is a crossover traditional Korean music (<i>gugak</i>) band that combines <i>pansori</i> (epic chant) vocal techniques with rock and electronic music, gaining explosive popularity domestically and internationally through contemporary reinterpretation of traditional music. Formed in 2019, Leenalchi drew attention with “Tiger is Coming” (<i>Beom naeryeoonda</i>) based on the <i>pansori</i> piece <i>Sugungga</i> (Song of the Underwater Palace), particularly when its music video was utilized in the Korea Tourism Organization’s “Feel the Rhythm of Korea” campaign. Leenalchi’s music creates a unique sound by combining the powerful vocal delivery of traditional <i>pansori</i> with contemporary instruments including bass and drums, and is recognized as an innovative case demonstrating the potential for popularization and modernization of Korean traditional music.

Leenalchi is a six-member band composed of <i>pansori</i> vocalists Jang Young-gyu, Kwon Song-hee, Shin Yu-jin, and Lee Na-rae, along with contemporary music instrumentalists. The band’s name “Leenalchi” is taken from Yi Nal-chi, a renowned <i>pansori</i> master of the Joseon dynasty, embodying respect for tradition and the will for contemporary recreation. Their signature song “Tiger is Coming” depicts a scene from <i>Sugungga</i> where a tiger descends from the mountain, combining <i>pansori</i>’s characteristically powerful and rough vocal delivery with electric bass, drum beats, and electronic sounds. Exclamatory interjections (<i>chuimsae</i>) made by listeners to enhance excitement in <i>pansori</i> performances also naturally blend into contemporary rhythms, achieving harmony between tradition and modernity without dissonance.

Leenalchi’s explosive popularity originated from collaboration with the Ambiguous Dance Company led by choreographer Ahn Eun-me. In the 2020 Korea Tourism Organization’s “Feel the Rhythm of Korea” campaign videos, Ambiguous Dance Company dancers performed choreography combining contemporary dance with traditional movements in various Korean cities (Seoul, Gangneung, Jeonju, Mokpo, etc.) to Leenalchi’s “Tiger is Coming” as background music. The videos recorded tens of millions of views on YouTube, becoming viral phenomena, and Leenalchi became a globally recognized Korean traditional music band.

Leenalchi’s musical experimentation proved that <i>pansori</i> is not merely a relic of the past but a living art form in ongoing evolution. They revitalized Korean traditional music as young and sophisticated music, breaking stereotypes about traditional Korean music and pioneering new audiences. Leenalchi’s success stands as a representative case demonstrating that contemporary succession of traditional arts can possess competitiveness on the global stage through creativity and experimental spirit, representing a meaningful achievement that opened infinite possibilities for Korean traditional music.
